schnookums

I am only new to Greytalk, and hope you will excuse me for asking a question. Has Ava been tested for Addisons disease? My friend has a GSP who was very slightly lethargic, and went off her food. Her problem was diagnosed as Addisons. Mia is now on tablets (hormones and steroids I think)and her apetite and energy has returned.

Poor Poor Doug. Please know that our thoughts are with you through this anxious time.

Yay Comet!!!!!! Big lump in my throat. Best wishes for your teenagers' recovery.

The toofie thing always seems to be an issue. I lost my beautiful Nola puppy when she was not quite four after a simple tooth cleaning under sedation. I decided to keep up the bone routine to prevent any more of my precious babies going to the Vet. My fear of Vets with hounds was very strong. My Schnookums gave herself a huge slab fracture on her biggest molar. After much trauma of Dog and owner, the tooth was pulled. (By a different Vet). Schnookie eventually recovered, and I now fear bones too!!!!! My breakthrough came when I decided to start feeding once a week an ox tail cut into three, one piece per grey. (sometimes twice a week) The structure of an ox tail is such that quite a bit of gnawing is required to get the meat and fat off the largely catilagenous bone which is easily digested. Only problem!!!!!???? HAPPY GAS!!! (Dosn't last long!!) Schnookums doesn't fuss on bones, but will have a go at ox tail. Happy gnawing from Schnookums, Lady and BlooperXXX

Don't Kids get up to all sorts of mischief when your'e not home?!!!!!! So pleased that your Fixer man is getting better.

Lady, Schnookums, Blue and I are sending you and Comet loads of love and hope for a good outcome. Please try to trust that things will turn out wonderful for your wonderful boy.
